HATHERN’S historical buildings have been turned into a guided walk to let local residents into the village’s past.

A Walk Around Hathern has been produced by Hathern Local History Society and features 55 properties, ranging from homes to pubs and churches, which are labelled on a map of the village.

Costing £2, the books are available from Cross Street Stores, Hathern Stores and Oakley Grange Farm.

Terry Cox, society chairman, said: “The History Society has been in existence since about 1985 and we’ve produced several books in that related to people’s memories, but we’ve never actually produced a book about the properties.

“About eight members have been involved. It’s a lot better than any of us imagined.

“The money is going back into the society, and from time to time we make donations in the village.”
